“The launch of BCX is truly the beginning of a new chapter of digitalisation for Africa,” said Isaac Mophatlane, CEO of BCX. “This new brand is the culmination of the vision my late brother and I had when we started Business Connexion over 20 years ago.”
BCX is built on the foundation of Telkom Business’s knowledge of infrastructure and Business Connexion’s expertise in providing customised ICT solutions for customers.
It provides a clear roadmap for companies throughout Africa to embrace digitalisation and be prepared to serve both their current and future customers.
Said Sipho Maseko, Telkom Group CEO: “BCX will address the technology and telecommunications needs of companies operating in Africa, both within their domestic market and as they expand into the rest of - and beyond - the continent. It will leverage the company’s expertise to further address the technology and telecommunications requirements of companies across Africa.”
BCX will continue to fall within the umbrella of Telkom Group, but will operate as its own business arm serving the enterprise space. All employees fall under the purview of the new brand and all physical office spaces will reflect the new brand name. Additionally, all existing customer contracts will be covered by the new BCX entity.
Moving forward, the company will continue to offer solutions specifically for cloud computing, unified communications and collaboration, converged connectivity and business mobility, security, internet of things, and big data analytics.
